DESCRIPTION
My guest this week on The Sewers of Paris is Professor Luis Alvarez-Hernandez, whose book See Me! tells the stories of gay and trans men in South Texas. Luis was inspired, in part, by Puerto Rican drag performers on Drag Race to explore his own place in the queer community — and to study the ways in which drag queens sometimes step into the role of unofficial social workers for folks who have few other places to turn.
